Q5
X has filed a challenge to prevent Tesla from registering the Model 3's
logo as a trademark. It's similar enough to X’s logo that it's "likely to cause
confusion" and suggest the two brands are connected, according to the
filing. While it seems like a tenuous claim at first blush (most people can
tell the difference between ______ and cars), X says it's pursuing the
case because Tesla was looking to put the logo on clothing and other
products. The gap between the two brands was about to blur, in other
words. However, the dispute may not amount to much given Tesla's
recent actions.
A spokesperson of Tesla notes that the EV maker quietly changed the
logo to the numeric "3" weeks ago, well before X filed its notice.

Q1
Edwin G. X developed the business theory that companies would be more
successful if they could call on someone outside their own organizations for
expert, impartial advice. This theory developed into a new profession —
management consulting — and the firm X Y Z, Y and Z being his colleagues.
It is the first management consulting group in the world.
In 1940, the firm was hired to help the United States Secretary of the Navy
with World War II preparations. Since then, it has had a hand in several
notable private and public engagements throughout its years, such as
advising on the breakup of Ma Bell and helping organize the National
Football League in the 1960s.
“Start with character, intelligence, and industry.” Known around the office as
“X-isms,” these characteristics influenced the firm’s first code of ethics—
written by Carl Z in the 1930s
Give X and (Y or Z).
Q2
X provides budget hotels and alternate stay accommodation to travellers in India. X’s key value proposition
to consumers and merchants is that it acts as a concierge service provider to its customers and hotels.
It has been in controversies lately for not paying dues to the vendors. Identify this startup.
Q3
An X is an inside entrepreneur, or an entrepreneur within a large firm,
who uses entrepreneurial skills without incurring the risks associated
with those activities. X are usually employees within a company who
are assigned to work on a special idea or project, and they are
instructed to develop the project like an entrepreneur would. X usually
have the resources and capabilities of the firm at their disposal.
A characteristic of X is their courage and flexibility to think outside of the
box, which allows them to work on ideas that may change strategic
direction. Even though many managers are afraid of radical changes,
they are often the only way to help companies grow. This is exemplified
by Wipro in India, a small vegetable company that ended up being a
software outsourcing powerhouse.

Q4
The original founders had started a company called SocialNet. Built in
1997, SocialNet, was a website to help you connect with people. Not only
could it help you find a date, it was also used to help you network, find
roommates and even helped you find a tennis partner in a section
labeled, “Just Play” — which was a horrible name for a social site;
sounds like the personals on Craigslist.The website never gain much
traction.
The new idea which they started working on was To create a world where
people are doing what they love, not just what they have to. Where
professionals understand that the work they do is one of the most
significant ways in which they can contribute to their communities and the
world.

were medical missionaries, and he spent most of his early life in Pakistan, India
and Afghanistan. He studied at Woodstock School in the Himalayan mountains
of India, before moving to Monkton Combe School, a boarding school in Bath,
England. He later studied Philosophy at Oxford University.
X was founded in February 1984 as a conference, which has been held

consistent with its Silicon Valley origins, but it has since broadened its focus to
include talks on many scientific, cultural, and academic topics. In 2001, his
foundation acquired the X.
He expanded the conference’s remit to cover all topics, including science,
business and key global issues, while adding the X Prize, which grants its
recipients $US1 million and “one wish to change the world”.

Many people have asked about the meaning of our name. ‘X'
was inspired by a poem written more than 800 years ago
during the Song Dynasty. The poem compares the search for a
retreating beauty amid chaotic glamour with the search for
one's dream while confronted by life's many obstacles.
'...hundreds and thousands of times, for her I searched in
chaos, suddenly, I turned by chance, to where the lights were
waning, and there she stood.' X, whose literal meaning is
hundreds of times, represents persistent search for the ideal.
